What Is Abdominal Ultrasonography?

Ultrasonography uses sound waves to create a live, moving image of your pet’s internal organs. It’s completely non-invasive, pain-free, and does not expose your pet to radiation. Abdominal ultrasounds are most often used to examine the:

  • Liver, kidneys, and spleen
  • Stomach and intestines
  • Bladder and gallbladder
  • Lymph nodes
  • Reproductive organs

The procedure typically takes about 20–30 minutes and is well tolerated by most pets. Sedation is rarely necessary, and your pet remains with you throughout the process for a calm, reassuring experience.
